About This Project
This project began with the focus of trying to identify any war-time pilot who flew a particular Vultee BT-13 aircraft that was assigned to Greenville Army Airfield, Greenville, MS, during WWII. This BT-13, US Army Air Corps serial number 41-11538, is still flying with the Commemorative Air Force Minnesota Wing at Fleming Field, South St. Paul, MN.
Over the course of investigating pilots who flew at Greenville, a large amount of information had been gathered for hundreds of pilots. Rather than this consolidated information sitting in a dark corner for only a few to see, this project aims to share that information to honor those who served and preserve their legacy. Basic information about each pilot will be published on this website, with a book to follow with detailed information for a number of these Greenville Flyers.
